Clive Bundy said of black people: “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail because they never learned how to pick cotton. And, I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy.”

Weird that anyone who would endorse shoving women to the front of the riot (they're trying to incite) in order to get female blood on the road to enjoy more press... would also be a stone cold fcking racist.

His desired abuse of women, complete disrespect for our nation's laws... how many signs did people need?

He said his black brothers are being cheated by the govt out of the American dream because of socialist policies. He is dead right about that. He could have avoided that one sentence and probably should have.

Does not change the fact that the govt is still acting like thugs here

He clearly says some truly racist and fcked up stuff with that one sentence. Maybe he stayed "on message" and didn't reveal his ugly side the other minutes of the interview. But he said this on his own - it's exactly how he feels.

He did himself a lot of damage w this no doubt - not denying that at all.

Old man lost the last bit of sympathy he had from the media. Im still waiting on my share of the profits from his ranch since he used public land.

the TRUE conservatives kept pointing out that the dude was selectively following federal laws when it was handy for him. He doesn't recognize them, but he pays federal taxes cause he'd go to jail otherwise. but he knew he couldn't be criminally prosecuted for disobeying this particular federal BLM law thing, so he ignored it for 20 years and gained quite a strategic advantage over his competitors by not paying the fees than they had to pay.

He's more of an expoliter than a true patriot... and the 'red meat' conservative media loved him when he was inciting near-riots and dissing obama. The TRUE conservatives pointed out that he wasn't pure on any of it - just dodging paying fees, yelling catch phrases, and now we see, he's a stone-cold racist that just doesn't like to pay bills.

I had meant "watch it!!!" with regards to your comment, ...however I did watch that long ass boring clip, and agree. Even out of context, he doesn't make a good case for himself. Clearly Mr. Bundy is from a different era, and without a doubt is NOT the more articulate fellow. I do understand what he was struggling to say, even if he himself was unable to say it.

The media is exploiting the "letters of his words" rather than reporting on "the spirit" of them.In all fairness to the media, they'd be damned if they had instead expressed his idea, rather than his literal statement. It c/would easily be interpreted as glossing over, covering up, and/or concealing the severity of his words.

How is this different from any other person, entrepreneur, corporation etc.?

Isn't that what most people do when it comes to gov't taxes... striving to pay only the legal minimums?If there is a legal loophole that does not require you to pay, would put you financially at risk were you to pay it, and could potentially strip you of your rights were you to pay it, ...would YOU, or anyone else in their right minds pay it?

By your argument, he's supposed to let excess gov't fees drive him out of business, because his competition allowed those same excess fees to drive them out of business. As an entrepreneur he found a competitive edge in the marketplace, and used it to his advantage. It's no different than someone who builds a better mouse trap.

Perhaps, ...but no one should scorn an individual who exploits loopholes in laws, especially when those laws were implemented for the sole purposes of screwing over that individual to begin with.

Of course I don't extend the same generosity to multi-nationals who buy the politicians and in many cases write the darned bills themselves. That's not exploiting a competitive advantage you find, that's just corporate tyranny.

I dont think there's a legal loophole here. The court has a judgment against him for 1.1 million and they're taking his cattle. I know he disagreed with there even being a federal fee. But in the country he lives in, that's the law, and he abided by many other laws, just not this one. Maybe it was an advantage in that he got away with it for 20 years instead of 20 months, I'll give him that.

I didn't know that paying the fee could hurt him, haven't followed the story closely lately.
